Theme boilerplate

If you want to use our Theme Boilerplate for your project you can generate a new theme inside /wp-content/themes folder with simple command:

composer wp:theme <folder-name> [-t="My Theme"] [-ns="ClientName"] [-dir="wp-content/themes"] [-s, silent install]
	
	or
	
php composer.phar wp:theme <folder-name> [-t="My Theme"] [-ns="ClientName"] [-dir="wp-content/themes"] [-s, silent install]

If you forgot the syntax of the command or want to know more about command options you can just call command without any options to get command help:

composer wp:theme
